of the water. Generally, the potential should be between 550mV and 800mV. For public
pools, regulations require a minimum potential of between 650mV and 750mV,
depending on the country.
Even though the device is calibrated in the factory, it is recommended to periodically
calibrate the sensors and also the first time the device is put into operation in order to
ensure the reliability of the measurement. To do that, simply follow the instructions in
the CALIBRATION paragraph.
OPERATION
The system is switched on using the switch on the front of the device.
PHENIX has a drop-down menu so you can see the status of the different PHENIX
variables. In addition, this drop-down menu allows you to access the
“SETTINGS” menu used to configure the device.
DISPLAY
The
and
keys on the keyboard are used to scroll through this menu. The
different displays on this menu are as follows:
The measured RedOx (ORP) potential is shown on the left in mV

. A “
P
” appears if the
chlorinator is asked to produce chlorine then an arrow indicates if filtration is
operational. The measured pH

is then displayed.
Messages in the system status are displayed alternately on the screen:

The pH read is abnormal (>9.9 or <3.9).
Check the sensor. Repeat calibration. Check the
pH7 and pH9.1 solutions

The ORP read is abnormal (> 990mV or <
150mV). Check the sensor. Repeat calibration.
Check the 650mV solution

. An asterisk indicates that the value is being obtained.
This device automates the treatment of you pool but the results of the measurements
can be affected by numerous factors and the user should remain vigilant and
periodically conduct a chemical analysis (test strips or colour indicator) to check the
consistency of the results and recalibrate the sensors if necessary.
